SCC Front Radar Sensor
The Smart Cruise Control uses a radar to
detect distance to the vehicle ahead.
Warning message
Check SCC radar
When the sensor lens cover is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, the Smart
Cruise Control System operation may
stop temporarily. If this occurs, a warning
message will appear on the LCD display.
Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor lens cover before
operating the Smart Cruise Control
System.
The Smart Cruise Control system may
not properly activate, if the radar is total-
ly contaminated, or if any substance is
not detected after turning ON the engine
(e.g. in an open terrain).
OLF054203N
If the vehicle ahead (vehicle speed:
less than 20 mph (30 km/h)) disap-
pears to the next lane, the warning
chime will sound and a message
will appear. Adjust your vehicle
speed for vehicles or objects that
can suddenly appear in front of you
by depressing the brake pedal.
Always pay attention to the road
condition ahead.

Driving your vehicle
Check SCC system
The message will appear when the vehi-
cle to vehicle distance control system is
not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the system
checked.
Do not apply foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect
the sensing performance of the
radar.
Always keep the radar sensor
and lens cover clean and free of
dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the Smart Cruise
Control System may not operate
correctly. In this case, a warning
message may not be displayed.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.(Continued)
CAUTION(Continued)
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, the Smart Cruise
Control System may not operate
properly. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts
to repair or replace a damaged
sensor or sensor cover. Do not
apply paint to the sensor cover.

Limitations of the System
The Smart Cruise Control System may
have limits to its ability to detect distance
to the vehicle ahead due to road and traf-
fic conditions.
On curves
The Smart Cruise Control System maynot detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and then your vehicle could
accelerate to the set speed. Also, the
vehicle speed will decrease when the
vehicle ahead is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on curves and apply the brakes or accel-
erator pedal if necessary. Your vehicle speed can be reduced due
to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Apply the accelerator pedal and select
the appropriate set speed. Check to be
sure that the road conditions permit safe
operation of the Smart Cruise Control.
On inclines
During uphill or downhill driving, the
Smart Cruise Control System may not
detect a moving vehicle in your lane,
and cause your vehicle to accelerate to
the set speed. Also, the vehicle speed
will rapidly decrease when the vehicle
ahead is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on inclines and apply the brake or accel-
erator pedal if necessary.

Driving your vehicle
Lane changing
A vehicle which moves into your lanefrom an adjacent lane cannot be rec-
ognized by the radar until it is in the
radar’s detection range.
The radar may not detect immediately when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.
Always pay attention to the traffic, road
and driving conditions.
If a slower vehicle moves into your lane, your speed may decrease to
maintain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.
If a faster vehicle moves into your lane, your vehicle will accelerate to the set
speed.
Detecting vehicles
Some vehicles in your lane cannot be
recognized by the radar:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles orbicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-decel- erating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized
correctly by the radar if any of following
occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing upwards
due to overloading in the trunk
- While the steering wheel is operating
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Apply the brake or accelerator pedal if
necessary.

Your vehicle may accelerate when avehicle ahead of you disappears.
When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detected, drive with
caution. Always look out for pedestrians when
your vehicle is maintaining a distance
with the vehicle ahead. Always be cautious for vehicles with
higher height or vehicles carrying
loads that sticks out from the back of
the vehicle.

NOTICE
When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following precau-
tions:
If an emergency stop is neces-
sary, you must apply the brakes.
The vehicle cannot be stopped by
using the Smart Cruise Control
System.
Keep a safe distance according
to road conditions and vehicle
speed. If the vehicle to vehicle
distance is too close during a
high-speed driving, a serious col-
lision may result.
Always maintain sufficient brak-
ing distance and decelerate your
vehicle by applying the brakes if
necessary.
The Smart Cruise Control System
cannot recognize a stopped vehi-
cle, pedestrians or an oncoming
vehicle. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Vehicles moving in front of you
with a frequent lane change may
cause a delay in the system's
reaction or may cause the system
to react to a vehicle actually in an
adjacent lane. Always drive cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.
Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance.
The Smart Cruise Control System
may not recognize complex driv-
ing situations so always pay
attention to driving conditions
and control your vehicle speed.

Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud and sand, take the below sugges-
tions:
Drive cautiously and keep a longerbraking distance.
Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
When your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, or sand, use second gear.
Accelerate slowly to avoid unneces-
sary wheel spin.
Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow, or
mud.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.

Downshifting with an automatic
transmission/dual clutch transmis-
sion while driving on slippery sur-
faces can cause an accident. The
sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful
when downshifting on slippery sur-
faces.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and excessive
wheel spin occurs, the temperature
in the tires can increase very quick-
ly. If the tires become damaged, a
tire blow out or tire explosion can
occur. This condition is dangerous -
you and others may be injured. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the
vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle,
the vehicle can overheat quickly,
possibly causing an engine com-
partment fire or other damage. Try
to avoid spinning the wheels as
much as possible to prevent over-
heating of either the tires or the
engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle to
spin the wheels above 35 mph (56
km/h).
